With support from the Chemical Synthesis Program in the Division of Chemistry, Professor Thomas Lectka of Johns Hopkins University is studying new ways to selectively modify one carbon-hydrogen bond in a complex molecule that features many carbon-hydrogen bonds. These types of reactions are important for systematically altering biologically active molecules to study their reactivity without having to build each individual molecule from scratch. Professor Lectka and his research team are determining how loci in a complex molecule interact with a carbon-hydrogen bond-activating agent and using this information to predict and improve the ability to choose a single carbon-hydrogen bond for activation. The carbon-hydrogen bonds in these studies are being converted to carbon-fluorine, carbon-bromine, carbon-oxygen, and carbon-nitrogen bonds, valuable C-H activation transformations in organic synthesis. Professor Lectka is also partnering with the JHU Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) program and the JHU-NSF STEM Achievement in Baltimore Elementary Schools (SABES) program to provide research experiences for local high school students.Site-selective C-H functionalization in complex molecular settings is a current grand challenge motivated by the desire to be able to study and modify natural products and pharmaceutical targets without having to individually prepare each analogue from basic building blocks. Professor Lectka and his research group are investigating a new approach to this problem through the development of hydrogen-atom transfer reagents that can specifically coordinate to a substrate and selectively activate a single carbon-hydrogen bond for C-X bond formation. Simultaneously, this team is also exploring the types of functional groups beyond ketones and enones that can influence the selectivity of the hydrogen-atom transfer reagents and determining the effect of substrate coordination to metal additives. These activities are providing a strong training platform for the professional development of graduate students and research experiences for undergraduate students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在化学合成计划中的化学划分方面的支持下，约翰·霍普金斯大学的托马斯·莱克特卡（Thomas Lectka）教授正在研究新的方法，以选择性地修改一个具有许多碳氢键的复杂分子中的一种碳氧键。这些类型的反应对于系统地改变生物学活性分子以研究其反应性而不必从头开始构建每个单独的分子很重要。 Lectka教授和他的研究团队正在确定复杂分子中的基因座如何与碳氧键激活剂相互作用，并使用此信息来预测和提高选择单个碳氢键以激活的能力。这些研究中的碳 - 氢键正在转化为碳氟，碳 - 溴，碳 - 氧气和碳氮键，有机合成中有价值的C-H激活转化。 Lectka教授还与JHU妇女科学与工程（WISE）计划（WISE）计划和巴尔的摩小学的JHU-NSF STEM成就（SABES）计划为当地高中生提供研究经验。设置是目前的巨大挑战，该挑战是要能够学习和修改天然产品和药物目标的愿望而无需单独从基本构建基础中准备每个类似物的挑战。 Lectka教授及其研究小组正在通过开发氢原子转移试剂来调查这种问题的新方法，该试剂可以特异性地与底物进行协调，并选择性地激活单个碳 - 氢键以形成C-X键。同时，该团队还在探索酮和烯酮以外的功能组的类型，这些功能组可以影响氢原子转移试剂的选择性，并确定底物协调对金属添加剂的影响。这些活动为研究生的专业发展提供了强大的培训平台，并为本科生提供了研究经验。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估评估的评估来支持的。
